Alternate Suppliers

WorkGuru allows you to track alternate suppliers on SKU's you can purchase from multiple suppliers. The pricing and supplier details for the SKU will automatically apply based on the supplier the purchase order has been raised for.

• Reviewing Alternate Suppliers
• Adding Alternate Suppliers
• Applying Alternate Supplier Pricing

Note: This functionality is designed for exactly the same brand/type of product, supplier specific versions of a production should still be tracked as a separate SKU.  

Reviewing Alternate Suppliers

Alternate suppliers are available on the Alternate Suppliers tab in the products details page.  A number will display if the product has alternate suppliers assigned.

Click on the Alternate Suppliers tab to review the products alternate supplier details.

Adding Alternate Suppliers

Alternate suppliers can be imported in bulk to assign quickly to multiple products. To add a new alternate supplier directly to the product, click Edit Product, select the Alternate Suppliers tab and click Add Alternate Supplier. Note: Ensure a default supplier is assigned to the product BEFORE adding alternate suppliers.

• Supplier- Select the alternate supplier from the dropdown. The supplier must already be setup in your Supplier list.
• Code - Alternate supplier's supplier code.
• Price - Alternate suppliers pricing ex GST for that SKU.

Repeat step 3 for as many alternate suppliers are required. Save the new alternate suppliers to the product. 

Applying Alternate Supplier Pricing

Alternate supplier pricing is automatically applied based on the purchase order's assigned supplier. Raise a purchase order as per normal with the alternate supplier selected as the supplier. Click Add Product and if the SKU matches the alternate supplier, it will automatically switch from the default supplier code and pricing to the alternate supplier values.   

Notes:

• If the SKU does not have an alternate supplier that matches the purchase order's supplier, it will always display the default pricing.
• If you switch the supplier AFTER adding the SKU, WorkGuru will prompt if you want to switch to the new pricing. OK applies the new supplier pricing, Cancel retains the current.
